News Delivery Today

Again, it is time to resubscribe to The Vancouver Sun. For a few years, we've been increasingly hesitant as the newspaper continues to shrink but the costs climb. The shift away from print started years ago, but we still seem to be hanging on to old habits. We've been getting the paper delivered in the morning since we arrived here in 1996 and it seems as if it's a hard dependence to break.

I naturally consume more and more of my daily news content directly on my tablet. In fact, I have moved from a multitude of 'paper-centric' apps to Flipboard. Almost all the editors' inclusions in the paper edition exist within a few swipes in my constantly-updated electronic version. In addition feeds from Facebook, Twitter, and G+ can be easily thrown in the mix.



We've got about three days left before the home delivery ceases. Jay likes looking at the newspaper in the mornings, but it remains to be seen whether it is worth over $300 a year to continue our rather archaic penchant for information delivery via dead trees.
